We all love to pampering ourselves with sweet
indulgence, which never fails to make us
happy in the moment, right? Here are my favorite dessert on-the-go places. Each
of them is unique and creative in its own way. I tried to review some of them
to improve your tasting experience. If you love to satisfy your sweet tooth,
then this written is for you!
1. KOI (KOI Kemang Jl. Kemang Raya No
72. Kemang, Jakarta Selatan & KOI Mahakam Jl. Mahakam I No. 2, Jakarta
Selatan)
If you love dessert, make sure to stop in
to KOI. I would classify this as a restaurant but somehow, often I make a stop
just to have their desserts. Not because I don’t like the food, in fact the
food was great, but each dessert in Koi was near perfection! My all-time favorite
would be its’s Apple Crumble and Chocolate Lava Cake, which are possibly the
best you can get in town.
2. Convivium Café Deli (Jl. Panglima Polim IX no 1,
Jakarta Selatan)
It is a small restaurant in Panglima Polim that
offers Italian homemade cooking. Finally I dropped in as I had seen everyone
raves about this place for a very long time. Convivium is one of the pioneers
of restaurants offering Red Velvet cake, which they called Torta Passione.
Actually I promised myself to never eat
Red Velvet, Blue Velvet; or any similar cake that have fake colors on it.
Convivium successfully changed my mind. I have to admit, the cake don’t just look
appetizing, but it taste wonderful too. Worth going place to satisfy your sugar
craving, that is!
3. Publico (Jl. Senopati Raya No 65. Kebayoran
Baru, Jakarta Selatan)
Finally, I decided to check out this new place
in Senopati. Set up like New York in 1920ish, this place successfully brings the
vintage vibe to the visitors. The house speciality is charcoal grilling dishes,
but surprisingly their desserts are good too! I was in love with their famous
Chilled Valrhona Mars Bar, an elegantly garnished Valrhona chocolate mousse
with super yummy chocolate crumble and salted caramel. I myself had an
exquisite experience while enjoying that mouthwatering goodness, so yeah, would definitely recommend!! If you haven’t
tried it yet, you must do so immediately!
4. Honeymoon Dessert (Mall Taman Anggrek 4th Floor 401-A,
Mall Kelapa Gading 3 Gourmet Walk 58, Pluit Village Floor 59)
For a different way to get your sweet cravings
satisfied, have yourself a treat at Honeymoon Dessert then! Just like the name
says, we can stop in only for the desserts. I have been here many times and
always tempted to try all of them. Unlike many other desserts that are rich in
cream, chocolate, or cheese, desserts in Honeymoon Dessert are more like
refreshing kind of desserts. You can get Sticky Mango Rice just like you’d have
in Thailand here, which is my personal favorite beside their Mango Pancake. Ah,
the pleasure to taste the rich desserts with less guilty feeling, that’s what I
love most about Honeymoon Dessert!
Despite the extra glucose (and
calories) we put my body through, I guess having a dolce in moderation wouldn’t hurt. Joy can be recreated in food,
and warm molten chocolate cake topped with vanilla ice cream is simply a proof!!
So, Lokals, lets embrace the joyness in
life: eat your favorite dessert, and do good! :)
